1:44 "he's done some interestings things with tesla" thats an understatement lol

I appreciate all that these two guys did for Tesla in the early days. But the company would never have gotten off the ground without Musk. He may not have been there from day 1, but yeah he’s a founder.

[@427max]

The definition of founder is literally “the beginner or originator of soothing” therefore he was most certainly not the founder nor was he of PayPal nor is he actually a rocket engineer nor does he have your politics at heart since he needs the right politicians in power to keep fuming his companies lol. Let the hate begin towards me. Everyone have a great weekend and be safe

Dude I thought that for the first minute or so but actually they continued on to show just how amazing the technology has become and how they actually do charge in about the same amount of time as refueling now. I think you should actually watch the whole thing, the Google API says that you only watched 2 minutes and 18 seconds and skipped 11 times through the video. So it looks like you just got little bits and pieces. Yes, Google does keep track of this and it is public information.

Elon Musk is as important to the Tesla as Warren Buffet was to Berkshire Hathaway. Technically not the founder, but without him the company would be very different and much smaller.

[@ruturaj47]

Yes, founders still get some credit as company wouldn't exists at all without them and still doesn't make Warren Buffet a founder or gives him right to declare himself as one, being a nice guy as he is, he doesn't try to either.

[@TheBooban]

No. Warren Buffet would single handedly be the worlds greatest investor. Charlie Munger might argue that. But together, they make Berkshire Hathaway. So. You already forgot about 1 other person; Charlie. In Elons case, who do you think you forgot? Buckets and buckets of engineers! And some of them are very key individuals and without them, Elon by himself would be nothing. But Warren, will always be successful all by himself.

[@RareKino]

Technically he is the co-founder. Eberhart tried to argue he wasn't, he lost the case.

impossible, it would have been a treason to Nikola Tesla

[@Rayray-pe2wy]

The audacity to say that Elon wasn’t a founder considering that when he joined all they had was the name and a concept with no money or idea how to make it reality. Is insane

[@kenkioqqo]

Success is 1% idea and 99% execution. While Elon wasn't the original source of the Tesla idea, his execution turned the idea into the world's biggest and most reliable electric vehicle company.

[@SuperBlackHurricane]

I'm really impressed by the two founders of Tesla. Entrepreneurs with a deep love of invention and enough creativity and intelligence to back it up.

[@willitbreak5825]

Be cautious of the image Eberhard is trying to portray. Keep in mind he was fired by the board of directors because he had told other members of the team to lie to Musk about the true timeline and cost of the roadster. Tarpenning on the other hand I’ve read to be an incredibly kind person.

[@BirdLives7]

@@willitbreak5825 Hmm, sound familiar?

[@willitbreak5825]

@@BirdLives7 Read ‘The founders’ as it goes through much of the misinformation about his payment company. Tldr; board and Musk had differing visions. They wanted an exit, whereas he already had one, thus had a much larger vision to become a single worldwide financial institution. The members agreed that while Musk’s vision may have worked, they didn’t think they had enough capital to survive.

FSD Beta is much better now than it was here. It improved that much likely because it was used by the public as it improved with the clear understanding that they have to pay attention and be ready to take over at any time. It's still not good enough to be a robotaxi but it's much better than you see in this video. It still has it's stupid moves but they aren't really dangerous. They annoy other drivers though.

[@AadhityaSrinivasaPanduRanganV]

Great conversation

[@jackjackthompson5771]

I think it works fine both ways. These guys had the idea but Musk was chairman from the start too. I think they all want credit. Btw, endless amounts if unnamed engineers really make all this possible

[@cia9419]

More like they were the founder of a failed company while mask was the founder of a successful company

[@legostud]

So FSD didn’t warn you to pay attention on a closed course with nothing going on around you? Did they try testing it in a more active environment? Also yes FSD sucked then, because that’s Beta. What you need to look at is the level improvements over time.

[@curon_licentia]

Exactly, this is too old data. Current version 12.5 of FSD is a whole other ball game. Go check out tests of that version of FSD on youtube.

[@lyndakorner2383]

Conventional cars that are electrically powered only solve one problem: local-source pollution. All of the problems associated with automobile-dependent suburban sprawl remain. We need to give more attention to the following: building and enhancing dedicated-guideway transportation systems (rail, B.R.T., and other modes, including the innovative); creating pedestrian-friendly, mixed-use, and transit-oriented development with form-based codes that use rural-to-urban Transect Zones; optimizing freeways for express buses and for goods movement through conversions of mixed-flow lanes to H.O.V., through dedicated on- and off-ramps, and through variable speed limits; expanding infrastructure shared by bicycles and Neighborhood Electric Vehicles (N.E.V.'s) that includes protected intersections, as well as lanes protected by parked cars, street trees, etc.; traffic calming and road diets; smart parking policy including on-street parking with variable pricing and associated P./B.I.D. formation and enhancement; secure bicycle parking; highway-to-boulevard conversions; subscription-based sharing of bicycles, N.E.V.'s, and, to a lesser extent, conventional (electric) cars; and, promotion of N.E.V.'s over conventional (electric) cars. N.E.V.'s have regulated speeds, and the vehicles have intentionally limited range, which helps stop and reverse sprawl. Conventional electric cars are the wrong solution. They may be able to offer some taxi services that can help people become more multimodal, but, ultimately, this mode should be considered a last resort when people do select a way to travel for each trip. To that end, the governments should also be finding ways to decrease the fixed costs of car ownership and increase the variable (e.g., free/discounted transit with driver licenses and/or car registration, fare structures integrated across transit agencies, pay-as-you-drive car insurance with V.M.T. taxation administered through insurance companies, Pigouvian taxation with universal rebates disbursed from the proceeds, lower car-registration costs, lower licensing costs, cash-out policies for free/subsidized parking, etc.).

[@efrenUtube]

Who cares who was the founder or came up with the original idea? what matters is who made it what it is today, that's the case of Microsoft with Bill Gates, it was Paul Allen who really came up with the vision it is well documented, however we all know that Microsoft wouldn't be near what it is today without Bill Gates.

Musk solved the problem of mass production at scale and pushed the company to become something futuristic that goes way beyond automotive. Tesla has risked going bankrupt multiple times, the worst point in the whole company's history was during the great recession, which is exactly when Musk took over as CEO (2008). In other words, Musk as CEO brought Tesla from basically bankruptcy to reaching 1 trillion market cap and entering the S&P 500. This point wasn't highlighted at all in the video.

[@skydiver151]

@@legostud you are a Tesla fanboy and are going to be disappointed to discover that Tesla is not decades in front nor do they have some alien technology.
